There is going to be 30 minutes resurfacing to allow TV to catch up and perhaps avoid congestion at the restrooms.
Since the channels are switching some delay may occur and your kind understanding is requested.
I counted skaters who scored lower than 55 Ami scored, and since there are 6 of them, Ami may make it to the Free as the second skater in the first group.

Ami is already qualified for the FS - hence the Q next to her name in the current standings.

TV is back and Group 4 warm up is ongoing.
Commentator is Shizuka, now.

"Do you best performance" her coach told Kaori before sending her off to the center of the rink.

 

[Karen-W]

Very strong skate for Kaori - though I'm amused that her 3F isn't getting reviewed at all.

Rino tends to dig a hole in SP, but always comes back in the Free Program.
I did not see any hole, here!
Kaori interview: She got the knack to land the triple triple in ths SP after returing from GPF.
Back stage on Mone and Mao.
70.79 WOW Rino is surprised!! Machiko is excited!

 

[Wyliefan]

Good for Rino, having a strong short when it really counted. Hope she doesn't freak herself out and can keep it up in the free!

Slew of commecials, and suddenly Wakaba interview with her saying she wants to get the scores she was receiving before Olympics. Back to slew of commercials.

Saki Miyake's expression is so big and impressive and still she did not make it to GPS...the depth of Japanese women is unbelievable.
